TABLE A PROCEDURES
A-4
Check the Winch Operation
Detection of damage to the winch is essential to
safemachineoperation.An unsafeworking
condition exists if the winch is damaged or not
operating correctly. A daily check of the winch
operation allows the inspector to identify changes in
the operating condition of the winch that might
indicatedamage.
1 Visually inspect the all winch components for
damage.
2 Raisethe carriage through apartial cycle and
releasethewinchhandles.
Result: The winch should operate smoothly, free
of hesitation or binding. The load should not
lowerwhenthehandlesarereleased.
3 Fullylowerthecarriage.
Result: The winch should operate smoothly, free
ofhesitation or binding.
A-5
Inspect the Columns for
Damage
Detection of damage to columns is essential for
safemachineoperation.An unsafeworking
condition exists if the columns are damaged and do
not operate smoothly, free of hesitation and
binding. A daily check of the columns allows the
inspector to identify changes in the operating
condition of the mast assembly that might indicate
damage.
1 Visually inspect the exterior of each column for
thefollowing:
· dents,gougesorabrasions
· bendsorwarping
· excessivewear
2 Raiseandlower all columns through a complete
cycle.
Result:Columnsshouldraiseandlower
smoothly, free of hesitation and binding.
A-6
Inspect the Cable and
Cable Pulleys
Detection of damage to cable or pulleys is essential
forsafemachineoperation.Anunsafeworking
condition exists if these components are damaged
and do not operate smoothly. A daily check of this
system allows the inspector to identify changes in
theoperating condition thatmightindicatedamage.
1 Visually inspect the cable and components for
thefollowing:
· frayedorbroken wirestrands
· kinks in the cable
· corrosion
· paintorforeignmaterials
· splitor cracked swagged end(s)
· cable is properly secured to the winch
· cable is properly secured to the mast
2 Using proper lifting techniques, lay the machine
back against a sawhorse or other suitable
support and check to be sure of the following:
· cable is on the pulleys
· upperandlowermountingbracketsare
properlysecured
· nobrokenordamagedpulleys
· no unusual or excessive pulley wear

Check the Mast for Proper
Sequencing
Detection of damage to the mast is essential for
safemachineoperation.An unsafeworking
condition exists if the mast is damaged and does
notsequenceproperly,freeofhesitation and
binding. A daily check of the sequencing allows the
inspector to identify changes in the operating
condition of the mast assembly that might indicate
damage.
1 Raise all columns to full height.
Result: The carriage should rise to the top of the
front column section, followed in consecutive
orderbyeachcolumn.
2 Lower the columns to the stowed position.
Result: The columns should lower in reverse
order,followedbythecarriage.
A-8
Inspect the Casters and Wheels
Extremely dirty conditions may require that the
castersandwheels be inspected and lubricated
moreoften.
1 Visually inspect each caster and wheel for cuts,
cracksor unusual wear.
2 Move the machine on a flat smooth surface and
check that the casters and wheels roll
smoothly, free of hesitation and binding.
3 Lock the base swivel casters.
Result: The wheels should not turn.
4 Be sure the rotation lock functions properly in
eachposition.

B-1
Inspect the Column Hold Down
System
Detection of damage to the column hold down
system is essential for safe machine operation. An
unsafe working condition exists if the system is
damaged and does not operate properly.
1 Using proper lifting techniques, lay the machine
back against a sawhorse or other suitable
support.
2 Visually inspect the hold down latches for
damage.
3 Move each hold down latch back and forth to
ensure that the latch moves freely.
B-2
Inspect All Welds
Weld inspections are essential to safe machine
operation and good machine performance. Failure
to locate and repair damage may result in an
unsafe operating condition.
1 Visually inspect the welds in the following
locations:
· winch mounting plate
· loading wheels/steer handle
· base
· legs and stabilizers
· load handling attachment(s)
B-3
Clean the Columns
Clean columns are essential to good machine
performance and safe operation. Extremely dirty
conditions may require that the columns be
cleaned more often.
1 Raise all columns to the maximum height.
2 Visually inspect the inner and outer channels of
the columns for debris or foreign material. If
necessary, use a mild cleaning solvent to clean
the columns.
This procedure will require the use
of additional access equipment.
Do not place ladders or scaffold
on or against any part of the
machine. Performing this
procedure without the proper skills
and tools may result in death or
serious injury. Dealer service is
strongly recommended.

Inspect and Lubricate the Winch
Maintaining the winch is essential to good machine
performance and safe operation. An unsafe
working condition exists if the winch has excessive
wear and/or does not operate smoothly, free of
hesitation and binding.
1 Carefully lubricate the following areas with
automotive grease:
· the cable drum gear
· the teeth on the pinion gear that meshes with
the cable drum gear
· the threads on the pinion shaft, under the
pinion gear
· the teeth on the slow and the fast speed gears
where they mesh together
Do not apply grease to brake
friction disks or rachet gear.
2 Carefully lubricate with 30W oil both pivot
points on each ratchet pawl.
3 Inspect the friction disks for excessive wear.
Replace if pad is less than 1/16 inch (1.5 mm)
thick.
4 Inspect pinion shaft bushings for excessive
wear. Replace if wall thickness of bushing is
less than 1/8inch (3.1 mm).
5 Lubricate the frame drum spacer. Tighten the
drum bolt to 20 ft-lbs (27 Nm). Do not
overtighten.

Inspect and Lubricate the
Rotating Barrel Handler
Maintaining the barrel handler is essential to good
performance and safe operation. An unsafe
working condition exists if the barrel handler has
excessive wear and/or does not operate smoothly,
free of hesitation and binding.
1 Visually inspect the following components for
damage:
· all bushings
· chain and clamp
· gears
· snap rings
· fasteners
· crank handle
2 Raise the barrel handler to a comfortable
working height (chest height). Do not put a load
on it.
3 Pump grease onto the drive gear. Locate the
gear from the bottom side of the barrel handler.
4 Using the crank handle, rotate the barrel cradle
1/4turn and apply more grease.
5 Rotate the barrel cradle 2 full turns or until the
grease is completely worked into the gears.

Inspect the Mast Assembly
for Wear
Detection of excessive or unusual wear in the
mast assembly is essential for safe machine
operation. An unsafe working condition exists if
the mast assembly has excessive wear and/or
does not operate smoothly, free of hesitation and
binding.
1 Attach an overhead crane or similar lifting
device to the lifting bracket on the mast.
2 Lift the machine slightly and then guide it over
onto the ground, so that the machine is laying
on the loading wheels.
Crushing hazard. The machine
will fall unless it is properly
supported with the overhead
crane.
3 Visually inspect the top of each column for
clearance between the roller wheel and the
adjacent column surface.
Result: There should be a maximum gap of
0.062 inches (1.57 mm) between the roller
wheel and the column.
If mast inspection results in a
measurement that is not within
specification, refer to Repair
procedure 2-1, How to
Disassemble the Mast.
C-1
Lubricate the Casters and Wheels
Extremely dirty conditions may require that the
casters and wheels be inspected and lubricated
more often.
1 Visually inspect each caster and wheel for cuts,
cracks or unusual wear.
2 Move the machine on a flat smooth surface and
check that the casters and wheels roll
smoothly, free of hesitation and binding.
3 Pump grease into the caster or wheel until it
can be seen coming out of the bearing gap.
Grease Type Lithium-based
